We rescue not for politics, fortune, or fame, my friend… but for the kiss of a dog.

Rocket Dog Rescue, the name says it all. We are an all-volunteer nonprofit group dedicated to saving homeless and abandoned animals from euthanasia in overcrowded Bay Area shelters. We literally give them a second chance at life. And everybody deserves a second chance.

We have finally reached our goal of an Urban Sanctuary and adoption center for dogs. Since our inception in 2001, Rocket Dog has saved over 6,400 dogs from euthanasia in overcrowded bay area shelters. We’ve done all of this without our own facility, relying instead on dedicated foster homes. With a location to safely house dogs now, we’ll be able to significantly increase the number of dogs rescued each year. The adoption center & Urban sanctuary will also act as a community center that will hold training classes, and other fun and educational events. We have found an amazing space in Oakland, California.
